[Verse 1]

E5 B5

Us middle-aged men just completing

The finishing touches on a dope deal

It's agreed we get a small piece

In the middle of a cornfield

When these Canada geese fly south, we'll harvest in the dark

[Chorus 1]

We can talk just to ourselves

Or we can talk just to the stars

[Verse 2]

E5 B5

Us Canada geese held a meeting

In the middle of a cornfield

It's agreed we leave in small vees

And meet up again in the real world

Like middle-aged men smoke dope, and talk just to their cars

[Chorus 2]

We can talk just to ourselves

Or we can talk just to the stars

We can talk just to ourselves

B5 E5

Or we can talk just to the stars
